Charcoal black projection paper and texture paper for artists and photographic printing ; "William E. Dassonville was a superb photographer and a man of great influence in Northern California's artistic community during the early twentieth century. He was also an innovative craftsman and self-taught chemist, and a perfectionist who developed and marketed his own line of photographic printing paper, Charcoal Black. His photographs were widely published and won numerous prizes and honors." (from: http://www.carlmautz.com/vintage%20gallery/dassonville/dassonbio.HTM )
